Maryville College posted 23 fast-break points on Sunday afternoon, but a key third quarter lifted Albion College past the Scots, 89-68.

MC trailed by just eight at the half, 36-28, before a key third quarter surge by the Britons would separate the two squads. Albion shot 58.8 percent (10-of-17) from the floor with a 50-percent effort from long range in the quarter, as they outscored Maryville, 27-16.

With that run, Albion built a 19-point lead.

"We played hard," Head Coach Darrin Travillian said. "There's some things that we didn't do, that part of that, I give [Albion] credit. Their full-court pressure for 40 minutes is tough. You don't see that every day, and we don't get that all year long. I felt like we had a ton of opportunities to put more points on the board. We didn't do a whole lot to stop them or impede them from scoring, but we had some chances to drop 80, 85 points today. We missed a ton of layups right in front of the rim."

For the game, Maryville shot 10-of-21 from within the restricted area. However, outside that area in the paint, the Scots were held to a 3-of-14 effort (21 percent). Albion managed 50 points in the paint, as the Maryville posted 26.

The Britons' full-court pressure was key, as they forced 23 Maryville College turnovers. Albion took advantage of that, tallying 34 points of the Scots' miscues.
